He left journalism in 1987, three years after the birth of his third child. Living in North Yorkshire and mainly working as a journalist, he eventually became chief copy editor of the business section of The Times, and then deputy national news editor of the business section of The Independent. Together they returned to the USA in order for Bryson to complete his college degree, after which they settled in England in 1977, remaining there until 1995. There he met and soon married his English wife, Cynthia, a hospital nurse. In the mid-1970s, Bryson began working in a psychiatric hospital in Virginia Water, Surrey. Some of his experiences from this trip are re-lived as flashbacks in Neither Here Nor There, which documents a similar journey Bryson made twenty years later. He returned to Europe the following year with his high-school friend, Stephen Katz (which, it transpires, is not his real name). William 'Bill' McGuire Bryson (born December 8, 1951) is a best-selling American author of humorous books on travel, as well as books on the English language and on scientific subjects.īorn in Des Moines, Iowa, he was educated at Drake University but dropped out in 1972 after deciding to backpack around Europe for four months.
